Dave Chapelle is a comedian/actor who has a net worth of 30 million dollars. Chapelle is most known for his hit show on Comedy Central titled “The Chapelle Show” which is the show that Lupe refers to in this line. Dave stopped doing the show after 2 successful seasons because he claimed it was ruining his stand-up career, here are some direct quotes from Dave regarding the show.

The show is ruining my life. I dislike working 20 hours a day and it is affecting my stand-up life which is the most important thing to me.

You know why my show is good? Because the network officials say you’re not smart enough to get what I’m doing, and every day I fight for you. I tell them how smart you are. Turns out, I was wrong. You people are stupid.

Joe uses subtle but clever wordplay on “feel” to describe how he was unprepared for the words that his mom said to him. The words his mom said to him were literal feelings (love) and how she actually “feels” create the pun.

He found it weird that she would choose this exact time to tell him these things. He’s wondering if there was a specific reason for her sudden words of love.
